There are a large number of hidden processes at work today that become visible from time-to-time through their effects.  The recent Dubai ports flap, the apparent lack of interest in protecting our borders against illegal invasion, the wholesale off-shoring and outsourcing of American production, research and jobs are just some examples.  
 
Taken individually, these events don’t seem to make any sense.  And they don’t seem to be related.  But they do make sense, and they are shown to be related, if viewed as a coherent paradigm for a New Global View (NGV) that has as its centerpiece the dissolution of the fifty year historical anomaly known as the American middle class.
 
This series explains the origins, evolution and looming endgame of this conspiracy that governs the rise and fall of the American middle class.

Over half a century ago the leaders of the victorious allies, specifically the Western powers, had a big idea.  The manifestation of this big idea, the Breton Woods Agreement, emerged out of WWII (1945) to stabilize the world economy.  
 
The NGV took form at Breton Woods during the closing days of World War Two.  The thinking among the war weary leaders of the Western Allies was that global stability, and the avoidance of major future wars, would result from a world where most if not all people lived in economic equivalence, later to be referred to euphemistically as a level playing field. 
 
In the view of these leaders, the American homeland, unscathed by the direct effects of the war, would emerge from the war as the standard for stability and peace, and would be the standard for the world to follow in developing the New World View. 

Little did they know where that would lead.
